Hello all,
I'm headed up to Yosemite this weekend and will be backpacking there for the first time next week. We're doing the classic/cliche Tuolumne Meadows-Clouds Rest-Half Dome-Happy Isles hike. After descending Clouds Rest (if that's possible), we plan to camp between there and half dome. I know most of the campsites are near the CR/JMT intersection, but I noticed that part way up the Half Dome trail there's a side trail that heads to an apparent water source, with a somewhat flat area just beyond that (map below). Has anyone ever tried camping here?
Any other advice for 4 Yosemite rookies?
